So I'm not crazy about my hot tub. I finally got a handle on my pool chemistry and it's so easy compared to this darn tub...but I'm working at following the advice on here and I'm really hoping, like my pool, that I come to appreciate the process more.
We had our hot tub dormant for a few months, while opening the pool we decided to open the spa too, inital readings...
FC 0
CC 0
pH 8.2
TA 90
CH 100
CYA 50
Temp 76
We drained, cleaned and refilled it, added CH and Dichlor and as of last night we are here...
FC 6.0
CC 0.5
pH 7.2
TA 40
CH 125
CYA 0
Borate 0
Temp 101
So based on this I think I should only worry about adding stabilizer and borate then continue to monitor daily and based on usage, correct? Also I'll be away from the tub for a week, what should I do to it before I leave so its not a mess when I return?
